Brian Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 17, 2012 -> 07:41 PM) This is my new pup. He's 8 weeks old. We know that his mom was a purebred golden retriever. Do you guys have any idea what kid of mixture he is? His tail is about a foot long, skinny and black with a white tip. That puppy will get you women.

As for what the lab was mixed with, it could be a Sheltie/Collie mix or Bernese Mountain Dog/St Bernard mix. Exhibits some potential characteristics of either of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Collie or st bernie coloring. He has TINY paws though so I lean toward collie though his snout isnt very thin. And I bought a thundershirt for my anxious dog, ill report back on the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Any idea if a Thundershirt helps separation anxiety? My dog barks incessantly whenever we leave him by himself. We come back to a dog with laryngitis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dog barks incessantly whenever we leave him by himself. We come back to a dog with laryngitis. Mine opens and then locks herself in the bathroom when we leave. We've watched it on webcam. Im testing that out today. Last night I tested turning on the stove and cooking (she usually shakes like crazy) and it seemed to work a little bit.

Iwritecode Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) We just rescued her from the local animal shelter. She is a rott mix named Jade and they estimate that she's about 2 years old. She might have some lab or retriever in her but she has the rottweiler markings. She's kinda small for her breed but she's also very under-weight. We have no idea how long she had been out on her own. For a little bit of fate or karma or whatever you want to call it... Our husky was cremated on July 3. The same day Jade was found as a stray in the middle of a field. Edited July 18, 2012 by Iwritecode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Left my dog to go hit balls on lunch, unfortunately it rained as I was eating lunch in bridgeport and I came home and my dog had opened the bathroom door, closed it, chewed a little (its already chewed a ton) and peed everywhere. Probably should have tested thundershirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My roommate is out right now to go pick up a 2 month old golden lab. I've never had a dog, or any other free-roaming pet, before. I'm about 80% excited and 20% terrified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mostly worried about the little things I'm not used to, like "Oh hey you peed everywhere!" or "Oh hey thanks for sitting on me you're so cute OH WAIT YOU PEED ON ME." But still mostly excited. Plus, it's his dog, so he's paying for it, primarily taking care of it, etc. I'm just along for the ride.

bigklita Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Sorry I didn't see the conversation about the Thundershirts earlier. My two dogs are horrible with thunderstoms, fireworks, loud noises, etc. Our Scottish terrier just goes and runs under one of the beds, but our Kerry Blue Terrier shakes uncontrollably, pants, and will pace all around whatever room you are in and lots of time try and get as close to you as possible. We got him a thundershirt and only saw very minimal improvement, sometimes it works ok on him and other times not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm surprised my 5 month old doesn't run around going crazy with storms. Not one issue. I guess it's just hit or miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's just hit or miss? Hit or miss is right. My old lab doesn't even seem to notice the storms. My brother-in-law's lab absolutely freaks out for any thunder or fireworks. They got her the thundershirt and it helped some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would LITERALLY lay down In the shower through the duration of the storm, everytime like clockwork. We called it storm watch. Tell ya what though, he was more accurate in predicting a storm than most weather forecasters. Smart dog.

Brian Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Sounds like I'm lucky. As long mine is indoors, storms don't bother him. He won't go outside when it's thundering and lightning though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
